Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

1845 readers

This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.

Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.


Posting Guidelines

All posts should follow this basic structure:

  1. Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
  2. What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
  3. Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
  4. Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
  5. Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.

Rules


Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.

Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.

YPTB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.


Some acronyms you might see.

Rimu recently started a new rant thread. I copied the response of the person they had targeted and in less than a minute Rimu had deleted the comment.

This is the comment Rimu did not want people being able to see: https://feddit.uk/post/53824748/26875911

This is the thread I shared it on: https://feddit.uk/post/53824747

I saw the thread without context trying to defend their actions and I just laughed.

"Boy golly, I'm just so new to this FOSS thing!"

Like, I still don't really know the details, but this pattern has gotten old.

but this pattern has gotten old. It's older than mythology itself.

Rimu rehashing old drama?

What is the manchild trying to distract from now, did he invade Iran and fuck up or something?

Don’t worry his Sycophants will make the excuses.

Drama again? 😐

Of course he did. This is total PTB!

Which sucks because I loved what Rimu was doing in the beginning by creating piefed. Then he banned me for no reason. Ok, dick move, but ok. I still supported him and his vision. More fediverse stuff, the better I thought.

But then there was the whole karma rating and all that other stuff. Then seeing how he would reply to people who brought stuff up.

Now this. Fuck that guy. He's proving himself to be an ass. Which sucks, because I really wanted to like him.

Total PTB!
